now on, dental technicians will only need one assortment for the individualized characterization of lab-fabricated
restorations.

Teeth are major factors in the physical, social and emotional development of children. Fluoride plays an essential role in
maintaining the good health of children’s teeth. A new patient guidebook reveals the details.

The clinical success of an adhesive often depends on the technique of the clinician. Total-etch adhesives generally require a
"wet bonding" technique. How wet or dry the dentin should be in order to achieve sufficient bond strength is often very
challenging.

Proper conditioning of the restoration bonding surface is a crucial part of the adhesive luting process. Conventionally,
glass-ceramic restorations are conditioned by etching the contact surface with hydrofluoric acid and then applying a silane
coupling agent.

Packed with innovative features, the new ceramic furnace Programat P710 can do more than just fire. The innovations include a
Digital Shade Assistant (DSA) for accurate shade selection, telephone capabilities and infrared technology for enhanced process
reliability.

prosthetics.

In order to meet the need for a more comfortable and gentle OptraGate for children that minimizes pressure, an ExtraSoft
version of the tried-and-tested lip and cheek retractor OptraGate Junior has been developed.

The transparent matrix, which is specifically pre-formed to accommodate the cervical portion of the tooth, takes the challenge
out of placing Class-V restorations. The typical “U“ shape of the matrix band allows the gingival restoration margins to be
shaped in an optimal and controlled fashion. Moreover, the formation of voids or excess is largely avoided.

The new formula of Multilink Automix offers dentists a decisive advantage: Excess material can be much more easily removed,
while the habitual proven features of the material – high bond strength and good adhesive properties – remain unchanged.

Ivoclar Vivadent has launched IPS e.max ZirCAD Colour Blocks, homogeneously shaded zirconium oxide blocks. The blocks are an

Latest study results confirm the effectiveness of the fluoride-containing varnish Fluor Protector from Ivoclar Vivadent against
aggressive acids, which are particularly present in beverages, such as soft drinks, alcopops and fruit juices. They are
detrimental to the teeth of children, teenagers and adults alike. Fluor Protector acts like a protective shield and prevents
erosion.

The chlorhexidine and fluoride contained in the new chlorhexidine gel offer double protection and easy application. The new
Cervitec Gel protects gums, teeth and restorations by maintaining the health of the gingiva and oral mucous membrane. The

900ppm fluoride strengthen the natural teeth. This offers double protection and exceptionally easy application: use Cervitec
Gel to brush the teeth in the evening instead of normal toothpaste.

The planning and fabrication, as well as recall of implant prosthetic restorations involves interwoven procedures for which
various dental materials are used. It is the combination of the individual materials and the knowledge of the proper processing

clinical and technical aspects of implant-retained restorations regarding Ivoclar Vivadent products and their proper use.

New Gingiva materials for IPS e.max For implant works in particular, the fabrication of true-to-nature red-white aesthetics is
